Supported encodings are: GB2312, GBK, BIG5, JIS and KSC.

It can also use input methods (table based) from MS pwin98 and UCDOS for MS-DOS.

--drv=STRING

If a program name is given as a command line argument, zhcon will run this program on start instead of a shell, and quit when the program exits. For example:
